Vermentino di Gallura DOCG BIO late harvest - Tonì

The Vermentino di Gallura DOCG BIO late harvest 2023 Tonì from Cantina Manconi comes from a late selection of Vermentino grapes in Alta Gallura, on granitic soils at the foot of Mount Limbara, in the heart of Sardinia. The winemaking is precise: hand-harvesting, destemming, whole-bunch chilling for two nights, free-run juice pressing, and the start of fermentation. Aging on the fine lees in tank for a few months, then 2-3 months in the bottle. The result is a warm, soft, and complex Vermentino, far from the fresh and immediate version of the Superiore.

In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, it is enveloping: tropical aromas of pineapple and papaya blend with fresh aromatic herbs, spicy and smoky notes, with a delicate buttery touch in the background. On the palate, it is warm and soft, with hints of lemon candy and wisps of thyme, balanced by a fresh vitality that makes it persistent and refined.

Recommended for: For those who want to discover the Vermentino di Gallura in its most intense and structured version, far from fresh and immediate whites. Tonì is the ideal choice with elaborate fish dishes, white meats in sauce, and unaged cheeses — or as a contemplative wine for those who love complex whites. Serve at 10-12°C.
